Sen. John Cornyn welcomed Attorney General Eric Holder’s planned resignation today, two years after calling for Holder to step down over a botched gun-trafficking sting.

“Unfortunately the American people, myself included, lost confidence in the Attorney General’s ability to lead a long time ago because of his continued willingness to put politics before the law,” Cornyn said.

holder supported 0’s racist, black-separatist, redistributionist agenda. He is a disgrace. That explains why 0 will nominate him for the supreme court when the shriveled up old hag ginzberg resigns.

You’re about the third person I’ve heard say that—wonder if this was in the “plans”.

Eric Holder is to broadcast journalism, an endless well of easy stories which provide outrageous division between the segments of the American populace.

No heavy lifting for the media with Holder, that's for sure.

You are correct. They have an ulterior motive for everything they do.

"Unfortunately the American people, myself included, lost confidence in the Attorney General’s ability to lead a long time ago because of his continued willingness to put politics before the law,” Cornyn said.

The most transparent Administration in history. It is, and will continue to be, the most transparently corrupt administration in history.

I thought so too but turns out Senator Cornyn was one of 21 Republicans to vote against Holder's confirmation.

Haven’t checked but if Cornyn voted no, Kay Bailey voted yes which means he either lost the coin toss with her or it was his turn to vote no and hers to vote yes.

We haven’t had two Conservative Senators in Texas for many a year. Fortunately we have at least one we can count on by electing Cruz.

Both KS Senators voted against Holder. No wonder the RATS here are trying so hard to steal a senate seat with a Trojan horse candidate.(Who’s a crooked big-bank millionaire, to boot)
